Living Without Disguises Project

LGBTQ+ people are infinitely diverse, but our stories of courage and authenticity unite us. For many of us, declaring our true selves for the first time out loud was just the beginning of a lifelong journey to claim our individual identities. The relatively brief moment of “becoming,” was the initiation into the enduring dedication to a lifetime of “being.”

Living Without Disguises provides a space where all members of the LGBTQ+ community share their stories about transitioning from becoming into being. This project is an online anthology of the many ways we have chosen to shed the disguises that once masked our true selves, enabling us to live authentically.

In this reclaimed region, we wield our words with wisdom and honesty; with love and hope. Here, it is safe, sacred, and celebrated to be Living Without Disguises.
